Just SOLD –

Here is a fully restored pair of Heathkit w5m mono-blocks, with Peerless 16309 output transformers with nickle coresINCLUDED are a pair of Cages (not shown) these are very clean but they are un-restored with the original paint that show some signs of wear

These sound excellent. and have been lovingly restored from the ground up

I have used matched components during the rebuild and upgrade

Also Note: that the scale for the balance voltage is MV (mili-volts) and ideal is 0 volts, with the meter set to volts it reads “0”

Cosmetic:

all parts of the chassis and have been sand blasted and painted with primer and automotive paint that was color matched with the same color as the originals(clear coated)

the power transformers and choke have also been sand blasted primed and painted with black automotive paint (clear coated)

Output transformer #1 has been painted with hamertone paint to match the original

Output transformer #2 has the original paint and decal, it matches closely to the other but the origianl paint was in perfect condition

these have SDI Labs Cap Board installed with the original can caps in place for looks (they have been clear coated with automotive paint)

NOTE: the chassis do not have lettering and the rubber feet are slightly miss-matched between the amps.

aside from the feet they are they are virtually identical

Electronics:

NEW Power Switches

all new parts – Metal film or metal oxide resistors that have been hand matched

IEC power cord connector

Gold Plated input jack

lab grade Balance inputs

gold plated banana plug speaker outputs (these have been tied to the 8ohm taps – the 4 and 16ohm taps are still available under the chassis)

New Solen “fast caps” through out

Silver wire or point to point in the signal path –

Cloth covered wire in power supply

New filter caps and SDI Labs cap board

New tube sockets (9pin)

MODS

:hi wattage ziener diode on the B+ to drop the voltage to 1957 levels (1957 line voltage was 110v modern voltage is about 115 to 117)

Thirmisters to slow the turn-on current to allow for the power output tubes to warm up before the B+ is applied

Higher wattage resistors in parts of the power supply to help with reliability

What we have here is a pair of fully restored Heathkit W5M mono amps they have a quad of tungsol KT66 tubes that test good. The chassis are very clean and look almost new!
